British photographer Charles Clifford (1819-1863) appears for the first time in press advertisements in Madrid in 1850, not, surprisingly, as a photographer but as a balloonist who announces various balloon shows including one in which he states his intention to ascend on the back of a live horse hanging from the basket. This article studies the relationship between Clifford and ballooning, shedding light on the motives behind his aeronautical career and this strange and original advertisement.
